Looks awesome! What’s the name of the TUI file manager you’re using there?
Damn, i forgot the file manager. Its ranger.
cool thanks!
Clean af my guy!
What font do you have in the bar? I never get the CPU Icon to display. Or are they just Image? But really nicely done.
I use Nerd fonts, they contain a bunch of icons
Excuse me while I bookmark this like I’m ever going to put the effort into installing all of this
Did you pause tiling for doing the screenshot allowing windows to float?
Alternatively make gaps 10x bigger than normal and turn on terminal transparency.
Noice
So clean! Gives me macOS vibes
This looks clean asf, congrats bro
Ooh, I love how your prompt looks in your terminal. How did you make it look like that? (I didn’t see anything in the alacritty yaml)
Edit: never mind, just saw that you already shared your Starship config. Thanks for sharing!
the word “rice” in this context has a super racist history and I beg you to look it up and then stop using it.
nice desktop tho
There’s nothing inherently racist about using the term in the context of customizing a desktop.
this is the kind of thinking that gave us names like “pcmasterrace”. words mean things, their origins matter
the original ricers were Japanese cars (early 80s), then from there rice came to mean cars with Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements (90s) + from there we get rice’d out desktops (which is new to me but whatever).
I am not as sure a rice desktop png is racist but if you feel like the term is opressing you or holding you back, could you consider opportunities to reclaim what is a good word (who doesn’t like rice?) and use it for positive cultural elements (modded desktops)? I don’t want to cede a good word to uninformed peoples from 40 yrs ago…history is too short to let them win!
evidence points to “Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements” being a “backronym”, an abbreviation that was invented after the word was already in usage – have you ever heard anyone calling an american or european car a “rice”?
anyway, happily the c/unixporn moderator didn’t agree that it’s possible for people not targeted by a racist term to reclaim it for themselves, and that it’s not the responsibility of folks pointing out a word’s bigoted history to find an alternative, and racist terminology is now banned 😌
sadly of course “pcmasterrace” went the other direction, polling a bunch of self-selected edgelords about the name went about as expected
Yes - today, rice refers to anything heavily customized for cosmetics.
@triplenadir @comalnik I beg you to please explain, how that’s possible?

step 1: go to your favourite search engine
step 2: type “origin of the term ricing”
step 3: ignore the results relating to soap, cooking, or the adorable-but-wrong backronym “Race Inspired Car Enhancements”
step 4: discover that “ricing” was a) originally used as an insult (shitty cars with lots of mods) and b) referencing people from east Asia cos, yknow, japanchinesekorean people like rice
step 5: stop using the word in the context of “mods”
step 3 takes some nuance, fair enough
